So, he stopped by the Willow Springs race track in Rosamond,
California to test drive Red Bull’s wheels and promote the fact
that F1 is making its return to North America next season after a
four-year absence.

With David Coulthard serving as his wingman, Cruise spent seven
hours zipping around the track, clocking an impressive 181 miles
per hour, just 4mph lower than the Scot’s top speed.

“I was surprised that he picked it up so quickly and is such an
accomplished driver,”
Coulthard said afterwards. “His recall was incredible
considering how complicated driving an F1 car is.”
